Cannot type capital letters in Insert mode

[osa1]

I'm sure this is a bad configuration or some interaction with another plugin, but I can't figure it out, and GitHub discussions is not enabled on this repo, so submitting a bug report.

Describe the bug Can't use shift in insert mode to enter uppercase letters.

To Reproduce Open any file with, switch to insert mode, try to enter uppercase letters. Some of the keys work, but for example shift-d or shift-i don't work.

Expected behavior Shift + letters should work in insert mode, insert an uppercase letter.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• Extension (VsCodeVim) version: latest
• VSCode version: latest
• OS: linux

Very weird. Can you still reproduce?

[miguelangeltorresfp]

I have the same problem but only with the letter k. If I press shift + k in insert mode it doesn't do anything.

And with this mapping it doesn't work either. I mean, I can't use shift + k in any mode.

"vim.normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive": [
    {
      "before": ["J"],
      "after": ["5", "j"]
    },
    {
      "before": ["K"],
      "after": ["5", "k"]
    },
  ],

Sorry, my issue is with Vim but not with vscode; I'm not sure how to delete this comment.

[rafaeloledo]

In my case i mapped <S-x> where x is hjkl, changed to <A-x>

Same Issue here shift+k doesn't work in mode, even after disabling vim extension

[anshulspider]

in my case its shift + c which dosen't produce "C" but puts the vscode to visual mode

[Zetaniis]

For me, the shift K wasn't working in insert mode, vim search and vim command line mode. I fixed it by editing the keybindings.json file by adding mode exceptions in the "when" property of shift-k key.

    {
        "key": "shift+k",
        "command": "editor.action.showHover",
        "when": "editorTextFocus && vim.mode != 'Insert' && vim.mode != 'CommandlineInProgress' && vim.mode != 'SearchInProgressMode'"
    },

cannot enter capital N

This vim extension ( vscodevim ) obviously should recognize when its in insert mode and auto disable all non vim keybindings until user hits ESC to return back to command mode

when I am editing code then enter letter N even when in vim insert mode vscode opens up a new vscode window ... showstopper bug

I know vi however am new to vscode so this bug is ongoing

related issue ... when editing code right click to display available commands like COPY and PASTE show normal ctrl-C and ctrl-V however those keybindings are not correct ... so vscode needs to make itself savvy to current keybindings so it displays correct keys on that right click command listing
